FROM THE FOUNDER:

Like so many other enthusiasts, my love for vintage custom motorcycles started when I randomly came across a couple of cafe racer photos online. The next thing you know, I am spending hours scrolling through the archives of all the main moto sites. I began to think to myself, wouldn't it be great if every single one of these stellar builds were all in this same place? Thus, Wind-blown was born. I love what is going on with motorcycle culture around the world right now, and I use Wind-blown to keep an eye on all the amazing stuff builders are putting together. The site drives my own lust to build custom motorcycles, and keeps new inspirations and ideas flowing through me. I hope that Wind-blown can do the same for you. My suggestion to you is to not search for anything specific, but to just keep scrolling down, and let the hours melt away. If you'd like to see any more of the bikes, click the photos. If you'd like to explore more from a builder click their name. Thanks for stopping by.

2013 Wind-blown Bike of the Year Nominations

It is easy to take for granted all of the great motorcycles being built on a weekly basis. Going through all the hundreds of bikes posted on Wind-blown this year, I realized just what an amazing time it is right now for the custom motorcycle scene. The creativity, quality of work, and refinement of design builders exhibit (including shed builders) these days, made it almost impossible to compile a “bike of the year” list. To give you an idea of how difficult it was for me to narrow it down to these fifteen bikes, my initial list was over forty bikes long (and thought I was being picky). When choosing my bikes, I didn’t have any specific criteria I was looking for. Rather, these are the bikes that stirred emotion in me; the bikes that left a lasting impression, and stuck in my mind throughout the year.

Getting the list down to a manageable number was a challenging enough task. To pick a single motorcycle as the absolute best bike of the year, is just too much responsibility for one man to assume. So I leave it up to you, Wind-blown readers. Please take the time to cast your vote for the bike of the year in the poll below, and be sure to share the poll with other motorcycle enthusiasts you know. You’ve got until 2014 arrives, midnight January 1st, central time. For more information on the bikes and builders, follow the links below the poll.
